Sigh. I succumbed to emotional eating. I said to myself, "I feel like crap, I want candy, I'm going to the vending machine to get something chocolate even though I'm not really hungry." And I did. Peanut M&M's. They were good. I just need to not do this as frequently as I do...
I'm a dork! I posted this over in the March thread!
Been trying to get over here all morning! Today is my first day NOT calorie counting and going intuitive (well kind of). Anyway hoping to check in daily just to keep an eye on what's going into my mouth.
B - Coffee w/ sf creamer Flaxseed Waffles w/ all natural PB and banana
L - Whole grain and flax flatout w/ leftover chicken, bell peppers, onions, and one slice of swiss cheese. Carrots and kefir ranch dressing.
S - Not sure, either chobani yogurt or a Kashi granola bar. Who knows maybe both! I'm going for a run later and we'll see how I'm feeling.
D - Grandparents are in town and I'm cooking, but it will have to be family friendly. Going to do whole wheat pasta with marinara and a small amount of freshly grated parm. Salad and *maybe* a slice of bread, but probably not because I'm going to have a glass of wine or a martini.
No evening snack today because of the alcohol. Hopefully my inhibitions don't wane because of the alcohol.
Jessica - I call my response to that "Oh, well", move on. Acknowledge it, look at what you might learn for the future, and then set it aside.
Yesterday we were supposed to have tonight's dinner, but we got home really late (Sarah's work is crazy, and I was waiting to pick her up), so we stopped at the market and got a rotisserie chicken, a 5 oz mini-loaf of french bread, and a light caesar kit - had 1 oz bread, 4-5 oz chicken, and salad with only a bit of the dressing and less than a serving of croutons - a healthy go-to meal for us, when we're overwhelmed.
Today my big risk is making cookie dough to freeze AND baking cupcakes for a birthday. Fingers out of the batter bowl!
B - Kashi go lean, strawberries, almond milk
S - Protein shake
D - BBQ chicken melt on english muffin w/ lettuce, mustard, RF cheddar, leftover rotisserie chicken with 1 tbsp bbq sauce.
S - Popcorn
D - Smoked pork chop, WW couscous with chili-rubbed dried pineapple bits, roasted asparagus
